Microsoft Edge Favorites Not Syncing

OK. I've made some progress here. I had to uninstall edge and reinstall it as described at

http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-microsoft-edge-in-windows-10/.

A few things that I had to do different...

• I changed my standard user account to an admin account before I did this. I changed it back when done.
• I uninstalled all extensions before I did this. I reinstalled them when done.
• Step 6: I booted into safe mode before I did this so that I could delete the Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder.

I did this to both computers. I then imported the favorites from IE11. After the computers synced then some favorites went away. I then deleted all favorites and them both Edge browsers sync between computers. I then reimported the favorites, added some
to the favorites bar, including folders, and all has synced now.

So far so good.
